TJ was a little crazy at the doctor's office today. At first, he wouldn't stop moving for the nurse to stay on his heartbeat. Every time she would get it, he'd move again. Finally, she was able to stay on the heartbeat, but he was moving so much, she couldn't get an accurate read. There were a few times she said, "Sit still, little one." I have a feeling we'll be saying that a lot in the future. :)
Things are still "normal" for the pregnancy. The doctor says I'm still about one centimeter dilated, so that hasn't changed. However, a week ago, I was 30% effaced and today, I'm 80% effaced, so there's been a lot of progress made there.
Last week, the doctor estimated TJ at about 7 lbs. Today, the doctor said he expects him to be "bigger than average" and that he won't be surprised if "he's pushing 8 pounds when it's time to deliver." I don't think I'll like that at all, so it's just one more reason the little guy should come out sooner than later. :)
I have been having more frequent contractions in the past few days. Still, there's no consistency or pain with them... just a lot more. We go back for another appointment next Wednesday. Maybe he'll be here by then, but I doubt it. :)
